Quote by Erica Bauermeister
While the egg yolks cooled, he directed the beaters at the egg whites, setting the mixer on high speed that sent small bubbles giggling to the side of the bowl, where a few became many until they were a white froth rising up and then lying down again in patters and ridges, leaving an intricate design like the ribs of a leaf in the wake of the beaters
Summary
This quote vividly describes the process of beating egg whites to a frothy consistency. The action of the mixer on high speed creates tiny bubbles that gradually increase and form a white froth, resembling laughter. As the froth rises and falls, it leaves behind intricate patterns and textures, similar to the veins on a leaf. This descriptive passage captures the transformative and artistic nature of the beating process, emphasizing the beauty and delicacy that can arise from simple ingredients.
